I was very exited today to find out that a piece of jewellery I submitted has been accepted for an exhibition in a couple of weeks. It’s the Totterdown lights exhibition which will showcase the ‘cutting edge of what the Totterdown Arts Trail has to offer’. There is a private screening on the opening night of the exhibition for the press and ‘key decision makers from within the art field’  to which I get an...

I have been busy with another sale and 3 more on the way! Here is a picture of most of my sale set up, there’s a bit more on the left which is missing but you get the general idea. It was at a party of my sisters (slighty strange) but good fun as I got to go to a party and talk about my passion most of the night!Sale table I bought myself a new top and couldn’t resist making a pendant to match! I have just discovered...

I had a great evening, thanks to Kate and Sarah for inviting me along with my jewellery! It was a lovely evening where people were having their feet pampered and milling around with wine and nibbles. I think I will have to add myself as a client next time! There were about 12 ladies there and many of them had ideas for different colour schemes or slightly different designs so I have some custom orders to get working on!Here is a small selection...

I am doing a small sale tomorrow night so have been busy getting ready. It is as part of a small pamper night. I will probably be the only vendor and there will only be about 12 guests but it will be a good opportunity to see how people react to my jewellery and my pricing! I find the pricing difficult (well who doesn’t!), I know how long it takes to make and don’t want to undersell it but at the same time I want it to be...

I am trying to get ready for my first sale on Friday (my mum sold some bits for me at a charity coffee morning a few weeks back but I wasn’t there and she did all the display etc). I don’t have as much stock as I would like (where does the time go?) but I am working on it!I have been polishing many of my beads in a rock tumbler recently. I half fill the tumbler with small smooth pebbles, bung in a handful or two of beads add some...

I made these a while back as a house warming present for a friend. I am busy making some jewellery for a sale on the 15th so will try and share some more of my experimenting after that when I have time. The white flower cane has green packing which works well for covering objects. It’s made from Fimo soft so doesn’t polish up as shiny as the Kato.
